The relationship between technology and development is at the center of theoretical and political debates, mediations that today take on new meanings based on energy and its adaptation at the local level. In Cuba, studies on the energy dimension are becoming more important due to the favorable impacts they generate for the environment and people's quality of life. The proposed article had as objective: to describe the sociotechnical approach of biogas and its opportunities for local agro-livestock innovation in the Credit and Services Cooperative "10 de Octubre", in Sancti Spíritus municipality. The study is descriptive and is based on qualitative methodology. Participant observation, document analysis, surveys and interviews and participatory dynamics constitute methodological supports of the proposed study. The results obtained reveal gaps and opportunities related to the process of socio-technical adaptation of biogas technology and its impact on the productive sector at local level, as well as the limitations that this social technological process entails.
